Shanty Creek

I will be back many times. Five hours drive for me but worth it.

Wonderful colours with the trees and the surrounding nature.

Very scenic course, trees resembling fall.
Nice open fairways with hazards in strategic locations for the long ball hitters.
Greens are super fast (even after aeration and sanding).
We will be returning to play this course again.

Beautiful, well maintained golf course. Presents some challenges, but still very playable. We couldn't wait to get to the next tee for every hole to see what view awaited us. We were not disappointed one time. My husband and I had a wonderful day of golf here.

When you live in the middle of North Michigan golf country, it's hard to have a favorite course. However, of the six courses within a 15 minute drive, Hawks Eye is my personal favorite. Lots of water, beautiful rolling terrain, few parallel fairways, great views, and challenging enough to make you work. For value, they often have special deals and great twilight rates.

This is a challenging course. Ample fairways with nice greens. It's a very picturesque course.

Many very scenic holes with tees from a variety of elevations. Greens were fast and challenging.

Fun northern Michigan course! Plays longer than yardage. Great views!

Very nice course. Well layed out. There is never another hole next to one another. Plenty of forgiveness but not a 'easy' course.

I went to hawks eye expecting horrible conditions from some if the reviews here. I was quite satisfied with the conditions I found here. Was it the best maintained course I've ever played? No, but nothing to keep me away. Course was wonderful with lots of elevation changes and scenic holes abound. Worth the stop to play. 17 is a beast

WE GOLFED THIS COURSE THE FIRST HYEAR IT WAS OPEN. WE HAVE LOVED IT EVER SINCE. ALWAYS GOLF ONCE OR TWICE THE WEEK WE COME UP. WILL ALWAYS PLAY THIS COURSE. LOVE IT

Overall great course to play. I'd play it again in a heartbeat.

I HAD A 1PM T-TIME AND IT RAINED ALL MORNING. WHEN I ARRIVED I WAS ONLY PLAYER THERE AND COMPLETED 18 HOLES IN TWO HOURS THIRTY MINUTES DID NOT RAIN DURING THE ROUND AND THE COURSE DRAINED VERY WELL A SUPERB LAYOUT,HILLY BUT FAIR AND BEAUTIFUL WILL DEFINATELY PLAY MANY MORE TIMES

A challenging course for the average golfer. Great views

After playing The Chief nearby, this course was a relief. It is typical resort golf in Northern Michigan with some refreshing design touches and a couple of oddities. The 13th hole needs to be viewed from the green on backward to the tee before you play it and 18 is 604 yards from the tips. Maintenance was above average. One or two greens differed noticeably in speed from the other 16. I'd recommend it and play it again myself.

Get rid of hugr green side traps! Get a ranger to stop golfers hitting mulligans every hole!

Tee boxes were not level or very well kept. Greens were too spongy and did not roll true.

Greens kicked my butt but the course was awesome. Beautiful vistas on every hole. Great elevation changes. A true joy and challenge to play. Must play before you die

Hawk's Eye has been a long time favorite course in the Bellaire/Shanty area. It offers variety, can be challenging, but is also fair and very playable. We've been playing this course for more than 10 years during and it's always been in pristine condition, until this year. We were disappointed in the fairways, and in the greens. Lots of brown patches and dead areas. Which was odd, considering the other Shanty courses we played last weekend were in fantastic shape. Hawk's Eye is still a perennial favorite, so I hope and trust the course returns to it's formerly terrific condition.

Cedar River is both challenging and forgiving at the same time. Course conditions were excellent. This is our golf group's favorite Shanty course.
